STAY IN GEORGIA They tell us that North Caro lina is a mighty progressive estate; that she’s leading the South in many ways, says the Winder News. People are moving to Florida and they tell us things are humping down that way. No doubt those who are seek ing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow are ready to tell us big tales about South Caro lina, Tennessee and Alabama, but we are perfectly willing to stay in Georgia and work out our sal vation here with labor and econ omy. Georgia is a great state, great in soil and climate and time will prove that there is no better place in which to live than right here in Georgia. The speculation that is going on in Florida is going to bring poverty and distress. In a short time the tide will turn back to this good old state of ours and those who remained at home and worked and econo mized are going to be the fortu nate ones. KEEPING 4YOUNG MINDS CLEAN •There will be general approval of the official raid which was Hade upon the I. W. W. in Cali fornia, for the seizure and de struction of a lot of pernicious literature which was to be sur reptiously distributed in the pub blic schools, for the purposes of poisoning young minds with mis representations of their own gov ernment and their own country’s history. It is an evil thing to teach children falsehoods, and to per suade them to think poorly of their fatherland and its found ers, says the Wahsington Post. Not long ago, however, a much touted “historian *» produced a work which was openly and very, widely sold as a children’s his tory of America, in which it was taught that fifty years elapsed between the French and Indian ■War and......the Revolution; that one of the chief causes of the Revolution was the British gov ernment’s interference with the wholesale smuggling which the colonists were committing; that the founders of this nation were "people with the souls of flun keya,” and that Washington and his soldiers were such poor stuff that “when a rainstorm came up, a battle was usually called off, and the contestants were given rain checks.” On the whole, we should say that such stuff, with its deliberate perversions of fact and its sneers at the patriots of the Revolu tion, was calculated to do more harm to the minds of the young than anything emanating from the L W. W. Yet its author was rewarded by being made the recipient of the flrat medal of honor bestowed by the Children’s Librarians’ Section of the American Library A»so * ciation, for the year’s ‘most dis tinguished contribution to Amer ican literature for children.” Does it not look as if apologies were due to the I.

Never show the bottom of your purse or your mind. Keep company with good men and you’ll increase their num her. A burden which one chooses is not felt. Three things only are done well in haste: flying from the plague, escaping quarrels and catching fleas. If young men had wit and old men had strength everything might be done well.

Large trees give more shade than fruit. One pair of ears will drain dry a hundred tongues. He who pays well is master of everybody’s purse. He who knows most speaks last. Men’s sins and debts are al ways more than they think them to be. Think much and often, speak little, and write less.

Adherence to the literal inter pretation of the Scriptures is in creasingly less possible in view of the discoveries of science, but the lessons the Scriptures teach “i I I | I ' |” John D. Bockefetler In he said. Rockefeller was contrasting re ligion a hundred years ago with religion of today. “It is clear that civilization, built upon the marvelous discov eries of science, made possible, by the most advanced and general system known to man, with all the comforts, luxuries, pleasures and opportunities which it has brought, is headed toward its own annihilation. l The danger in the present civ ilization lies in the fact that the creations of m^n’s brain, his crea tures, which should be servants, WHO’S IN THE WHO MEWS DR.

His studies had centered around the discovery made in 1887 by A. D. Waller, a German, that the electrical disturbances produced by the human heartbeat could be detected at the surface of the body. The first extensive description of this instrument was published in 1903, and in 1906 there appear ed in a French physiological jour nal an account of Dr. Enithoven’s own investigations with it. Since then scientific physicians all over the world have been securing the instruments as fast as they were available. The device writes a photograph ic record on a moving strip of sensitized papeT. It is in use in most of the important hospitals and clinics of the world and in private offices of many physicians who specialize in diseases of the heart, and it has almost revolu tionized the treatment in certain types of heart disease. 6.775 BALES HEjCOTODN—-------- GINNED IN FAYETTE UP TO DECEMBER 1 The ginning report of Fayette county to December 1 shows 6,775 bales ginned as compared to 3,093 for the corresponding date last year.

The Nobel prize GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS are getting beyond his control and are becoming his masters. “The development of man’s character or spiritual nature has not kept pace with the develop ment of his intellect and its prod ucts. “Men cannot long continue to live together in an ever more closely inter-related and inter- de pendent world unless they are guided by the spiritual laws and principles which religion teaches. “Consideration, unselfishness, self sacrifice, service, all spring ing from love of God, love of our brother, these are the spirit ual qualities which must keep pace with and dominate intellect ual and material progress if civil ization itself is to survive. Re ligion in its essence is the per sonal relation between God and man. ft At a lecture, the speaker orat ed reverently: “He drove straight to his goal. He looked neither to the right nor to the left, but pressed for ward, moved by a definite pur pose. Neither friend nor foe could delay him, nor turn him from his course. All who crossed his path did so at their own per il. What would you call such a man?” “A truck driver,” shouted a voice from the bored audience. In a small town in the south lives a physician noted for his reckless automobile driving. One day when he answered the tele phone, a woman’s voice asked him if he was going out driving that afternoon. “No, I hardly think I have time 'V' 4 • & this afternoon,” replied the doctor, “but why do you ask? tt “Well,” replied the anonymous questioner, “I want to send my little daughter down town some thread, if you are not.” The minister had dictated his sermon to a new stenographer. The subject was “The Joy of Youth," and he quoted as his a well known sentence from the one hundred and twenty-seventh Psalm. Being better acquainted with modern transportation facilities than ancient archery, the rendered the passage, “Happy is the man that hath his flivver full of them. n Which, after, simply expresses the sentiment in a more literal way.
